FANATICISM.
From the St. Louis Republican,

From the St. Louis Republican,
The extraordinary fanaticIsm oi
prohibition leaders is made manifest
from time to time, but seldom to such
an extent as in the case of California
votary of that dogma. A week or 80
ago at y prohibition convention a,
Alameda, ii minister of the Gospel
introduced a resolution asking the con-
ventlon TO petition Senator Stanford to
cndow the University of California on
some other basis than that mapped ont
by him. Senator Stanford, il will be
remembered, soon after the death of
his only son, appropriated several mil
lion dollars to endow a university in
his sons name. He made over to
trustees his splendid estate in Southern
California, composed mainly of vine
yards i'll a magnificent state of develop
ment. The prchibitionists. it seems,
are opposed to the acceptance of vine
bearing lands tor the endowment of an
educaiiona! institution. The resolu-
tion Of the reverend gentleman failed,
but it received sufficient support 10
gauge The general temper of the con-
vention. Wonder if those opposed to
Staninrd's gift in its present state
would die OF thirst rather than drink
wine?

Help one Another.
From Chambers Journal


: Help one another" the snowflake said.
AS they cuddled down in their fleecy bed;
One Of us here would not be felt,
One of us here would quickly melt;
But I'lI help you and you'll help me.
And then what big white drift We'll see."
'Help one another" the maple spray
Said to its fellow leaves one day;
"The sun would wither me here alone,
Long enough ere the day Is gone;
But Pll help you and YOU help me.
And then what splendid shade there'll be"'
"Hep one another" the dewdrOp cried,
Seeing another drop close to its side;
This warm south breeze will drive me away
And s10uld be gone ere noon to-day;
But I'll help you and you help ME,
And wen make brook and run to the sea-
"HeIp one one another" gram of sand
Said TO another grain just at hand;
''The wind NAV carry me over the sea.
And then, o, what will become of ne!
But come. my brother, give me your hand;
Well build a mountain and there wei
stand"

Seeing so many beautiful flowers heaped
upon the tomb Of Gen. Grant-which /
visited the other day-my curiosity was
excited by the question: Where do they
all come from; do they serve no other
purpose than to deck the great soldiers
resting place until they dies'' Garlands
are appropriate to the soldier, living or
dead, but the best men are not rcmem-
bered always, and so the profusion Of the
flowers surprised me.
A few days later, in conversation with
Col. Fred Grant, learned the sources Of
the garlands, and also that their useful
ness outlives their beauty.
"My mother has always visited the
tomb every day until the last two weeks, -
said Col. Grant. 'sThen she caught cold
and it settled into serious illness, which
has confined her to her room and TO the
doctors care, SO that she could not make
her daily visits
"Does the family furnish all the floral
decorations which I'LL the yaultfn I asked.
'sNo, no indeed, we do not, replied
Col Grant stOnce every week my mother
takes out large design made of cut now-
ers. These remain there until she orders
the guard TO remove them and replace
them with the fresh ones she may send.
So that all the time her selection Of flow.
ers is there
''The other flowers are from friends,
thenf''
s'Somc are, but the majority are from
strangers. can say that daily, without
an exception, floral remembrances are re-
ceived from oil parts OF the United States.
We order them placed in the vault, where
they remain until faded and withered. 1"

The First Virginia was the flower OF
the southern army, but long continued
disaster had worn out all its brilliant uni.
forms and left it impoverished and unable
20 buy new ones. Count de JOinville, one
Of the French princes visiting the army,
reviewed the regiment near Richmond,
Gen. Lee standing by. The soldiers had
managed to present good front by patch
ing up their gray uniforms But in order
to get the patches they had been Obliged
TO cut cloth out OF their coats and jackets,
leaving great spaces Of white cotton be-
tween their shoulders. Everything went
along all right while the review and In
spection was at front face" But when
the count gave the command 70 break
into columns Of companies, and the men
obeyed, hs was ast0nished to sec the
white backs.
'sYhat does this means he asked Of
Col. Darlington, their commander, since
mayor Of Richmond.
Advancing and sa1uting, the virginian
replied:

Doing Business I'm Hong Kong.
Hong Kong contains a large Chinese
population. It's money ia the Mexican
dollar, worth about eighty of our Ameri-
can cents. But cash is SO uncommon that
a great deal of business is done by credits,
or chits-silnply slips of paper, with the
names of articles, the prices and the sig
nature of the buyer, which are kept till
the first of the month or the day of set
Ting. Then comes the grand sQuaring
up. With the Chinese themselves all ac-
counts must be balanced at the beginning
of the new year. Regular business Is in
terrupted and paying and collecting takes
its place for the time being. And not I'M
common is it for Chinese merchant who
has been unfortunate or guilty Of mis-
management or fraud in business, when
he finds that he cannot make himself right
with his creditors at the annual time of
reckoning, to burn his stock, his books
and papers, that he MAY conceal his
troubles or his defalcation in this general
catastrophe.
Pigeon or business English is the LAM
guage used in conversation with the ma
tives, and an abomnable combination and
misarrangement of words it is, toos Far
more difficult to learn than good English,
1t has, however, obtained SO strong foot
ing in China that there are places where
1t is regularly taught ''Who boy one
piece box topside number four room have
takey' demanded the proprietor of the
hotel when asked to find out what had
become of missing piece Of luggage, and
strange indeed did it sound. But it was
far better understood than IL it had been
asked in the most correct English, and
one finds himself soon dropping into this
curious and barbarous language and using
expressions Of which his mother grammar
would hardly believe him capable.-Cor.

Escaping.

An indianapolis special says \ bold
attempt at train-robbery was made on
the Panhandle Line about O'Clock
this morning. About midnight the
switchmcn in the Panhandle freight
yards discovered five men robbinga car
Of merchandise. They attempted to cap
tire the robbers, but were compelled te
throw up their hands and walk away.
Two or three hours later five men,
supposed to be the same persons who
robbed the car, shipped on an outgoing
freight train, just beyond the city
limits, and while the engineer and
trainmen were covered with rcvolyers,
the cars were all examined, but the
robbers failed to find anything they
wanted and allowed the train to proceed
on its trip.
The robbers disappeared in the fields
along the road. None Of them wore
masks, and the leader was recognized
as Al. Kerr, notorious thief, whom
the police have been trying for months
to capture. Officers have been hunt
ing for the robbers today, but have
failed to find any OF them.

AN ADMIRABLE PLATFORM.
lLypcAbure vsrginianI
Tho position taken on the public
debt question is not merely the only
proper position, but it is the only pos
sible position for the party to take in
order TO win at the November election.
Taken as whole the platform il an
admirable one. All OF its declarations
are to the purpose, and uninvolved by
meaningless yerbiage. On the ques-
tons OF labor, public education, the alb
clifton Of the internal-revenue system,
the interests OF agriculture, and the re-
lief Of the disabled exConfederate sol
diers and ex-Coniedcrate soldiers wild
ows, the declarations are commendable
and unassailable. Combined they con-
stitute the groundwork Of q broad and
liberal public policy upon which the
party should march to an assured victo-
~. None but the veriest political quib-
blers can pick . flaw i'll the positions
taken on any OF these subjects.

take hope and courage from the I'M

lied the proceedings of the convention
and press forward with united purpose
as men thrice armed with a righteous
cause, and there can be no misgiyings
as to the result.
